Morphology

tweegram = twee + gram (semi-transparent) = twee + gram

The elements 'twee' and colloquial 'gram' are identifiable, but the specific social-media sense ('a text-only Instagram post') is a specialized coinage not fully predictable from the parts for average learners.

Etymology

Tweegram comes from two parts: twee and gram; a helpful way to remember it is to think of a text 'gram' — a short, often 'cute' message made into an Instagram picture, and that is why a tweegram means an Instagram post made only of words on a background.
